I had the priviledge of working with Vivian for a number of years in the Enka Plant and thought a great deal of her. My sincerest sympathy to her family and close friends.

To the family of Vivian, I knew Vivian and Ken through Etrulia Briggs, a good friend mine and Vivian’s. Vivian taught me how to make Ming Trees from wire and stones. She was an expert in her knowledge of stones. She was a most talented lady. Her presence and talents will be missed. My condolences to her many friends and family.
Vivian & Ken were the greatest example of a complete couple. Vivian & Ken were inseparable during their marriage. They enjoyed life to its fullest and until Ken’s death they were truly one. Vivian was a very hard working person who was friends to all she met. Our family friendship is over a 50 year period. She & ken were great friends as were her parents to my parents. Such talent will be hard to replace in the world. I know that Ken is happy now that she has joined him in heaven.
